"Much of the professional literature has focused on what disciplinary literacy entails; this valuable contribution explores how it can be implemented in complex school settings." —Doug Buehl, Author of Developing Readers in the Academic Disciplines What happens when middle and high school teachers who know their content very well are told they should be teaching reading and writing too?

A partir de reflexões sobre suas experiências pessoais com o sexismo, Beard pergunta: se as mulheres não são consideradas dentro das estruturas de poder, não E quantos séculos vamos ter que esperar para que isso aconteça?

At the end of the day, it’s our responsibility to decide if the argument is sound. With Diving Deep Into Nonfiction, Jeffrey D. Wilhelm and Michael W. Smith deliver a r...
